This year’s corn and soybean harvests continue to move slower than normal, but at least for beans, the finish line is close.

As of Sunday, 94% of soybeans are harvested, compared to the five year average of 97%. Except for Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota and Tennessee, all of the major U.S. production states are at least 90% harvested.

The corn harvest is 68% complete, compared to 94% on average. In contrast to soybeans, only four of the major U.S. production states are more than 90% harvested.

Winter wheat planting is at 93%, compared to 97% on average with 84% of the crop emerged and 64% in good to excellent condition.
